Thanks to everyone who replied to this. It was interesting hearing all your thoughts! I've decided to use *incarnation* to distinguish type instantiation from value instantiation on http://scala.zone . This is non-standard, but I hope others can find it a useful distinction!https://twitter.com/propensive/status/1354080968810897408 …

By the way, if anyone has a good reason why I shouldn't use "incarnation", it's not too late to stop me, and I'll just go with "variant" instead!

I regret very much still trying to work out what you were asking for when "manifestation" was suggested. I would have lobbied hard for it.

I could have chosen it if I hadn't already been swayed by incarnation...
